KOFightgear Gloves or Twins?

I'm starting to get into boxing/mma and apparently I have to get my own gloves. So I've been searching around, reading reviews looking into stuff and I've narrowed my glove choice down to these two. I'm either going to go with the KOfightgear 16oz sparring gloves, or pay double the price and get Muay Thai style Twins gloves. I'd prefer the Muay Thai style gloves because it sounds like more what I'm looking for, a tight profile and even padding. I'd be using these for boxing, sparring and bagwork. So what I want to know from you guys if the Thai style Twins gloves are worth the extra 30$ for someone starting out and not having a lot of money in the first place.

KO's are good but I like the padding more on the Twins gloves.

It all comes down to whether or not your willing to pay the extra dough and wait a couple of weeks for the Twins to arrive.

I hate to say it but the KO's are ugly as hell meanwhile Twins gloves are boner-inspiring.

G o on ebay and buy some Twins gloves from someone in the UK,ordering from Thailand will take a month to arrive.

I'm debating this as well Twins or KO gloves for my second pair glove, most people in my gym use Twins cuz it is MUCH lighter then KO glove plus it looks so much better. But is it worth the extra bucks?
